She received her degrees in journalism and professional communications and provides coverage for various publications locally, regionally, and nationally -- writing stories on small businesses, arts and culture, dining, community, and anything Michigan-made. You can find her in a record shop, at a local concert, or eating one too many desserts at a bakery. If by chance, she’s not at any of those places, you can contact her at: sarahspohn.news@gmail.com
